Stayed here on my 10th and 11th trip to Amsterdam and probably will never stay anywhere else. The staff was great, the room was perfect. 4 telephones including a handheld with 2 different lines, they even give your room a direct phone number for people to call you, a walkin shower and a separate tub with shower. Twice a day maid service, best location in the city, great security, clean marble bathroom, expresso machine in the room, and lots more. I've stayed at nearly every 5 star hotel in Amsterdam and I can't believe this is not 5 star, as it is definitely better than most of the 5 stars.

This hotel is in a convenient location for the tram (right outside the door), Centraal Station (no more than a 10 minute walk) and several places to change travelers checks. The room was small but very clean, well furnished with modern amenities, and quiet. Overall, it is a nice hotel, but very close to the red light district. I booked a superior room and paid extra for it, but I overheard the desk clerk giving someone a "free upgrade" to a superior room. I suspect I paid extra for what is given to others for free, which is my only reason for not giving the hotel an Excellent rating.

Stayed in a superior double for 6 nights - booked through "gtahotels.ca".
Clean, quiet (and we were facing Dam Square) and good size rooms.
Excellent location (Dam Square): Close to many restaurants, pubs, red light district and pedestrian malls (Amsterdam is easy to walk and you can easily get ot other popular squares within 10-20 minutes). I would stay here again.

This is an awesome hotel. The staff is excellent. They speak perfect English and has great recommendations for restaurants. The amenities are great as well. My husband and I were upgraded after a week of business travel to a suite and we were put in an executive suite. And they delivered us wine when my husband arrived. It's a great location and felt extremely safe in the hotel. The breakfast is pricey but adequate. You can't go wrong with this hotel. I would love to return but couldn't stay anywhere else because I'm already spoiled.

Swissotel is a fine hotel of true quality A-Z! Visiting one of our favourite, beautiful cities, Amsterdam, is always special to experience because of its people and rich culture in the arts but this time our 3 day stay at the Swissotel was "icing on the cake" for us. This hotel lives up to its 4 star status and we believe it could easily merit a 5 star. Location is in the heart of historic Dam Square but because the rooms are so quiet and peaceful you would think you're in the countryside at night. We were on the 5th floor, staying in the superior deluxe room and the picturesque view of the canal houses' rooftops including that of the church steeple and the palace was breathtaking straight from our window-what a great way to admire the historical Dutch architecture before your eyes close up. The hotel staff was very pleasant & attentive from the moment we checked in and the rooms are immaculate. We sincerely thank the manager, Mark, for extending his professional yet personal touch with his signed lovely card to wish us a happy anniversary & we thank him for his lovely surprise in assigning an upgraded room for us upon our arrival. The beds are 6ft and very comfortable and the pillows were dreamy! The bathrobes are white and warm and what a spacious bathtub - you can almost float in it-also shower is superb quality! It was a thrill to use the Lavazza expresso machine and tea as well inside our tastefully designed room. We will most definitely stay at the Swissotel again and highly recommend it. If you value comfort, cleanliness, a centralised scenic hotel location & excellent hotel staff service - Swissotel is THE hotel for you!

I stayed at the Swissotel for a weekend 7 Feb 04 I chose this Hotel after reading the reviews on this site. Yes the rooms are small, however they are very very clean. Amsterdam is a very small city and this Hotel is smack bang in the middle of it. It has great double glazing so no noise from thetrams outside.

Booked this Hotel for us and some friends, for our first visit to Amsterdam, after looking at consumer reviews on this web site.
Our room was not as large as I envisaged but was very clean and very comfortable. Fully equipped. Bathroom was very nice although we did struggle to get the shower set up so we didn't flood the bathroom!!
On arrival, at check in staff heard mention that it was one of our freinds birthdays. A bottle of wine was sent to their room with the Hotels compliments. A very nice touch.
Location of the Swissotel is superb. A gentle walk from Central Station and right on Dam Square so everywhere was easy to get to. Good security with key card required to access lifts and stairs to bedrooms.
Would definitely book here again if returning to Amsterdam.

You are right off the Dam at this hotel. All the major tram lines are right out the front door, and it's an easy hop to get to the train station. Lovely service. I liked the hotel restaurant - not your usual fare. Quick tram ride to the Van Gogh museum & Rijksmuseum. Oh - while you are that museums, at one end of the park there is a really nice subterranean grocery store. Stock up on snacks and pop as the mini bar is a rip off (as they are at all hotels). There is a mini-mart a couple doors down from the hotel, but it's more expensive and there's less selection.

The hotel is clean and tidy, with Smoking and Non-Smoking floors.
The standard rooms are pretty .... standard. Not much room beyond the bed and closets, and the bathroom is the same. The espresso machine was a nice addition to the room.
The bed was a little ropey too - it was a large bed made out of two matresses, with a clear diving gouge down the middle - a little soft for my liking too - and the pillows are an odd shape, square.
The Hotels location is fantastic, very central. There is a supermarket about 1 min away (out of the hotel and left) and a Mc Donalds next door. There are alot of resurants in the area too (at least 140 within a 1 mile radius from the hotel).
Don't get a cab from the airport it's not particularly accesible from the road and has no parking. Get a train from central Station and it's about a 10 Minute walk.
